Born in London and now living in Norfolk Maggie started telling stories to her younger sisters from an early age. Having worked in administration and then nursing Maggie is now retired and has two children and five grandchildren. She is regularly asked by the grandchildren to ‘tell us a story out of your head’ especially on car journeys. During the first Covid 19 lockdown in March 2020 when it was impossible to see her family Maggie wrote some short stories and read them over Facetime to her grandchildren. Clarence the Clumsy Monster was one of these.
